The Catholic Church and LGBTQ+ “inclusivity”

“Gay Priests? About Bloody Time, Catholic Church!” 🌈✝️ Hold onto your rosaries, dolls, because the Catholic Church is finally showing the tiniest sliver of progression. New guidelines reportedly suggest that gay men might – might – be allowed to become priests. But before we start throwing glitter in celebration, let’s take a closer look at this hot mess. The Catholic Church, infamous for its long-standing homophobia and exclusionary practices, seems to be dipping a reluctant toe into inclusivity. These new guidelines, while not groundbreaking, hint that gay men who remain celibate may be deemed “worthy” of serving God. Gee, thanks, Vatican – how generous of you. 🙄 But here’s the gag: queer people have always been in the church. From the choir directors serving soprano realness ...

It is all because of the gays if Los Angeles is burning!

Breaking News: Gays Blamed for Wildfires in LA—Again! 🔥🌈 Oh, Mary, grab your fans because this is too much! According to a so-called “expert” (and we use that term loosely), the gays are apparently the reason for the wildfires scorching Los Angeles. Yes, really. Seems like we’ve moved on from being blamed for hurricanes and economic downturns to now setting California ablaze! It’s giving Desperate Housewives meets The Da Vinci Code, and frankly, we’re howling. “The Gays Did It” – A Tired Old Tune 🎶 Apparently, when life gets tough, people still find it easier to blame queer folks than, you know, actual causes like climate change, deforestation, or poor urban planning. But sure, let’s all believe that gays sipping oat milk lattes on Santa Monica Boulevard are summoning wildfires with ...

Russia Anti-Gay laws make more victims every day.

Russia’s Anti-Gay Crackdown: A Cruel Joke That’s No Laughing Matter 🌈💔 Alright, loves, let’s have a little chinwag about Russia’s latest disgusting display of anti-LGBTQ+ hate. The case of Anton Yevdokimov, a queer Russian comedian, is a stark reminder of the vile lengths to which this regime will go to silence and punish our community. And frankly, it’s enough to make anyone see red—no pun intended. The Tea on Anton Yevdokimov’s Arrest 🍵 Anton, a rising star in Russia’s comedy scene, has been arrested for daring to joke about being gay. Yes, you read that right—a joke. Under Russia’s oppressive "gay propaganda" laws, even a throwaway gag that affirms LGBTQ+ existence is deemed criminal. It’s tragic, really. Comedy has always been a way for marginalised groups to push back against po...

Canadian LGBTQ+ people are scared of Pierre Poilievre, and this is why!

Pierre Poilievre’s Shady LGBTQ+ Comments: Just a Gaffe or Something More Sinister? 🌈 Darling, it seems the tea is well and truly spilled north of the border. Pierre Poilievre, Canada’s Conservative leader and Prime Minister hopeful, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Over the weekend, he casually tossed out a statement claiming Justin Trudeau and his Liberals have been using LGBTQ+ issues as a “wedge.” Oh, Pierre, love, let’s unpack this, shall we? The Drama Unfolds While Trudeau’s government has long championed LGBTQ+ rights—think equal marriage, trans protections, and all that jazz—Poilievre’s comments suggest he thinks it’s all just a ploy to divide voters. Excuse us, but what planet is she on? Pierre’s tone-deaf critique reeks of minimising the hard-won battles of queer ...

Polish Ski Jumper Andrzej Stękała Comes Out: A Brave Leap Into His Truth 🌈🎿

Andrzej Stękała and his touching coming out post. In a world where sports often feel like the last bastion of outdated attitudes, Polish ski jumper Andrzej Stękała has soared above it all by publicly coming out as gay. This bold declaration makes him one of the very few professional male athletes in winter sports to live authentically and openly, a decision that not only inspires but also chips away at the barriers still faced by LGBTQ+ athletes. The 27-year-old skier, known for his impressive performances on the slopes, has become a beacon of hope for queer individuals navigating the hyper-heteronormative world of sports. In his heartfelt announcement, Stękała shared his journey, from the struggles of self-acceptance to the freedom of living without hiding. He wrote: "What I am abo...

The Tragic Death of Blaze Bernstein: A Case of Homophobia Jewish Hate and Violence

When Homophobia, Jewish hate and Violence are out of control. The brutal killing of Blaze Bernstein in January 2018 is a heart-wrenching story that, unfortunately, has become all too familiar. Blaze, a young, bright, and promising student at the University of Pennsylvania, was murdered by Samuel Woodward, a man with ties to the far-right extremist group Atomwaffen Division. This tragedy isn't just about a young man’s life being taken, but also about the disturbing undercurrent of hatred and violence that exists towards marginalised communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals and Jews. Blaze, a gay Jewish man, was lured to a remote park in Lake Forest, California, where he was fatally stabbed by Woodward, a former high school classmate. Woodward was later found to be associated with the A...

Jake Daniels comes out as gay in a heartwarming interview with SkySport.

This 17-year-old boy is the first gay male professional footballer to publicly come out since Justin Fashanu in 1990. Jake Daniels is a professional player for Blackpool FC and during an interview with Sky Sports News, the came out as gay and said he'd had "amazing support" from his teammates after telling them about his sexuality. Jake said he felt ready to be himself after "such a long time of lying" about his identity, and added: “For a long time I've thought I would have to hide my truth because I wanted to be, and now I am, a professional footballer. I asked myself if I should wait until I've retired to come out. No other player in the professional game here is out.”  Surely it is sad to think that this young guy should have had to wait untile retirement to finally live his life an...

Italy: protesters in the streets to support ZAN Anti Homotransphobia Bill

The Italian LGTB+ population and that huge majority of Italians that love and want Civil Rights for all, started a huge protest after Zan Bill got stopped during its run to become a law. Zan Bill - Anti Homotransphobia - had already been bounced, delayed and longly discussed before getting completely stopped two days ago in the Italian Senate, and unfortunately the images we saw of that vote, were images that could only belong to a nation of troglodytes. But Italy is not the country that those fascist political parties want to picture: Italy is a nation of good-hearted and civil people that have detached themselves from the politics long ago, and that show huge support to LGBT+ rights. From TV hosts to the Streets of the major cities, peaceful but impacting protests and messages have s...

Anti Homo-Transphobia bill in Italy gets completely stopped.

The journey from bill to law of what is known in Italy as DDL Zan (Anti Homo-transphobia bill) gets abruptly interrupted today. Twenty-three votes scuttled the Zan Bill. The centre-left was sure to have 149 votes on paper, but two abstained and 16 senators passed with the centre-right. The result was 154 votes for NO and 131 for YES, a ratio that was reversed compared to the theoretical starting point envisaged by the forces in the field.  From the Democratic Party, accusations were levelled at those belonging to the party of the Ex Prime-Minister, Mr. Matteo Renzi.  Now Ignazio La Russa (Far right party - Fratelli d’Italia) says: "There is a new majority". Dem leader Monica Cirinnà (famous for her battle to make a law on same sex marriages approved in Italy) said: "The centre-left ...

Xavier Bettle – Luxembourg PM – publicly attacks Orban’s anti-LGBT+ bill.

Xavier Bettle is openly gay and married to his husband, with which he committed to keep on fighting for LGBT+ rights around the world. As we said here, yesterday Orban and Hungary received an open letter where the EU leaders jointly expressed their solidarity with the LGBT+ community and continued dedication to “fighting against discrimination”. You can see a copy of the letter here below:   “Respect and tolerance are at the core of the European project […] We are committed to carry on with this effort, making sure that future European generations grow up in an atmosphere of equality and respect.” And of course this is what Xavier Bettle wants to pursue for our present and future. Speaking to reporters he said: “Being gay is not a choice. […] You know, I did not just wak...
